Answer:

  • 65 = 10 + 2x . . . equation for trip cost
  • x = 27.50 . . . cost of play

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the costs add up this way:

  trip cost = bus rental + 2 × (cost of play)

Given that ...

  • trip cost = $65
  • bus rental = $10
  • cost of play = x

The above equation can be rewritten as ...

  65 = 10 + 2x . . . . . . the desired equation

__

Solving for x, we have ...

  55 = 2x . . . . subtract 10

  27.50 = x . . . . divide by 2

The cost of one play is $27.50.
